Schloss Barby, Cultural heritage monument in Barby, Germany.
The castle features a two-story structure with a high mansard roof, pilasters, and a triangular pediment adorned with a balcony supported by four columns.
Originally built as a border fortress in the 10th century, the structure underwent transformation into a baroque castle complex in 1687 under Duke Heinrich of Sachsen-Weißenfels.
The castle served multiple roles throughout its existence, including as a theological seminary, military hospital, grain storage facility, and teacher training institution.
The castle maintains regular opening hours for visitors, with guided tours available that showcase the architectural elements and historical features of the complex.
Following renovations in 2006, the castle houses an extensive land register archive for Saxony-Anhalt, containing important historical documentation of the region.
